Ats Jaar Pickles

› CHARLESTON, 1987....................................

There is little doubt that when George Washington visited Hampton Plantation north of Charleston in 1791, he would have been served these mustard pickles, which had become popular in the Lowcountry and remained so well into the twentieth century. At the time, Harriott Pinckney Horry and her mother, Eliza Lucas Pinckney, both widowed, were living at Hampton. Washington stopped there for breakfast but stayed on for dinner. It is thought that he was there to honor the courageous roles that Harriott’s two brothers had played in the war.
